Vinyl bed rail caps

Has anyone installed vinyl bed rail caps? They look a little more low-key than the diamond plate or stainless steel style. Wonder how they look and how well they hold up.

What does the term "wrapped" mean when discussing bed rail caps?

Re: Vinyl bed rail caps

What they mean by that is if the cap goes down over the edge of the bed rail. Most of them are indeed wrapped. However, they do make flat ones that just sit on the top of the bed rails themselves. Also, I've never seen vinyl ones for our trucks. I ran diamond plate ones on mine and loved them. Then again, I'm into the old school look.

Re: Vinyl bed rail caps

Thanks for the info. I have found some black vinyl caps, they look a little more subtle than the SS / Diamond plate. Feedback on them seems to be pretty positive.

Here's a link if you're interested:
